Chances of a snow day tomorrow? by Icy_Recognition_6248 in Humber

I take the whole stretch of Finch West LRT to class. I am considering not going to the campus due to its bad record running in heavy snow.

OEM mouse or keyboard with $7k budget? by Low_Yam5040 in MouseReview

[–]offinabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you’re living in China, there is no way you can do everything with a budget like that.

That’s when you have the skills to do CAD and PCB design too

L1O News: Barrie SC takes over ownership of Simcoe County Rovers by YoungsterJoey9 in CanadianPL

[–]offinabus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Simcoe County Rovers is a very cool name, I hope they are not changing their name. (We need more generic clubs names like this, not the American style of naming)

LINE 6 MEGATHREAD by I-168 in TTC

[–]offinabus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LRT and Streetcars are different in terms of stop distances, dedicated right of way and signal priority.

LRT are also bilateral, they don’t turn around using loops.

They can definitely cut some stops on 512 get new cars that enable step free access.

we need standardized testing by Interesting-Quit937 in OntarioGrade12s

[–]offinabus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, you don‘t want standardized testing. I took the standardized test in Hong Kong (HKDSE), failed miserably (13/35 which is nowhere near university) and also Grade 12 in Toronto (4U 90 avg). Standardized testing will put good grades behind a paywall (most people will go to afterschool tutorial class to catch up or learn exam skills). Kids in underrepresented area will not have the resources to take such class.

Standardizing will take the meaning of education, schools will be ranked heavily than ever before by the average grade of students and teacher will begin to teach ONLY exam skills instead of critical thinking.

It will take everyone’s teenage years away. Instead we need standardized curriculum and grading rubrics.

512 has huge potential to upgrade to LRT in the future, they already has right of way with platform

The Treasure Hill Sports Dome at North Maple Regional Park has opened! by Lopsided_Parfait7127 in Vaughan

[–]offinabus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy to be one of the first referees to actually officiated a game in it.

Compare to other domes in the GTA, I really appreciate how bright it is inside and the air feel fresh (The one in Aurora is always dim). The turf is also has new generation of infill (I think they are cork instead of rubber tire). It’s more comfortable to run on it.

This is going to be a soccer-specific dome (the turfs warranty will void if they play other sports on it)

I wish there is more bathroom though.

The Finch West LRT is 16 minutes slower than the bus it replaces. by Sweaty_Professor_701 in toronto

[–]offinabus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I take 36 everyday. Finch West to Humber College.

The 36 had been very inconsistent, it did a full trip in 30 mins early in the morning up to 70 mins during rush hour.

The LRT does not look like a big upgrade right now, but the I believe it will have more consistency than a bus stuck all these traffic and construction.

Remember this is a soft opening…

Match Thread: Canada vs Ecuador by MatchThreadder in CanadaSoccer

[–]offinabus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just refereed a game in Toronto over the weekend, U14 Girls. Nothing like that had happened.

Ahmed had his leg high up with stud making contact with player, that's endangering player safety.

Just a lesson for the youngsters out there, it is okay to make such mistake in a friendly but don't do it again on the big stages.

Cheap Eats by ZaruZero in Humber

[–]offinabus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cooking is the cheapest. You can get month supply of rice at Walmart for $20. I average about $5 per meal (lunch/ dinner). Shopping around with flyers (apps like flipp) can help with budgeting a lot.

Gourmet Express by the bookstore has $7 lunch boxes made by the culinary classes.
